Slate Superintendent Goudy and Treasurer Hill-Giulty of Ilank Nepotism. The state has frequently been the victim of personal greed and rank nepotism practiced by its officers but never has there been so flagrant an abuse of this nature as can be found in the offices of the state superintonden t and state treasurer to-day. In the for mer can be found the state superinten dent practically drawing two salaries or $3,500, he, having appointed his wife his deputy, much to the disgust of the body of republicans, while in the treasurer's office can be found the name of Carola Hill as clerk who is now in the east on a wedding trip, and during the four years she has drawn her salary of $1000, a year, has not done a month's service but instead has been east to school during most of the time. But this is not all. Capt. Hill does not in tend to let any of the state money run up against him without he has a finger in it, so as-a member of the board of public lands and buildings he has his son appointed as engineer at the capi tol building a position for which he is totally incompetent. Besides these direct appointments and the treasurer's own salary he is drawing interest on the state's money and is a silent partner in buying the state's warrants which he as a member of the board of education al f unds should have bought with this fund and the state thus draw the inter est. -" ' '' ' ' L. THE .WEAVER BALLY. ' The independents in all parts of the county should get ready in time for the jrreat Weaver rallv on Nov. 2. The ar rangements so far as completed are as follows: Grand parade at 11:30. Speaking at M street ball park at 2. Speaking at night in Bohanan's hall. Circulars giv ing full particulars will be issued soon. Mrs. Lease Interviewed. As Mrs. Lease wa3 passing through St. Louis to meet General Weaver at Terre Haute, Indiana, she was inter viewed. She declared that General Weaver was a brave and daring man, and that his departure from Georgia was in no degree the result of fear. She gave the following account of the TRIP THROUGH GEORGIA. 'Beginning: at Wavcross in the south ern part of Georgia, we received our first intimation of impending trouble as we alighted from the train when we noticed the depot platform and side walk strewn with circulars warning everyone to keep away from our meetings.- This was for those who could read. For those who could not read messengers were stationed on the roads to meet the people as they came into town and tell them that an admission fee of 50 cents would bo exacted of them before they could enter the meeting This turned many of the country peo ple and negroes back; and yet through the efforts of the third partyites a fair audience greeted us and accorded us a respectful hearing. We congratulated ourselves on having had a successful meeting; out after our people leit town the ' chivalric" democratic . thugs emerged from their hiding places and plotted murder. Their plan was to waylay General Weaver as he boarded the night train. Our chairman Mr H. C. Reed of Waycross, who has since written more than he dared to tell us at the time, heard of the lawlessness premeditated, and seeking the mayor implored him for the honor of the south to do everything in his power to pro tect General Weaver and party. The mayor, several special police, Mr. Reed and fifteen alliance men remained at the depot all that night to protect us We, unconscious of danger, had at the last moment decided to take a morning train; henco we escaped with our lives, not knowing that a gang of ruffians who had made night hideous were waiting to assault us. We have since heard facts from our chairman, Mr. Reed, that would not have soothed our nerves if we had known them at the time. ''Shortly after our arrival at Albany, a turbulent, howling, drunken mob gathered in and around the hotel. The democratic chairman came and offered us the use of the opera house free, and assured us on the faith of a Georgian, we would not be molested nor our meet Ing interrupted. Yet, notwithstanding the gentleman's honor was at stake we were frequently interrupted in the vilest manner. A plo had been laid to shut us in the opera house and at the conclusion of our address we would bo compelled to listen to a tirade of drun ken abuse from a negro hired by the chivalric democracy to demonstrate their ideas of social equality." ; "At Columbus another storm awaited us. A reporter of the Atlanta Journal who had made a specialty of collecting affidavits in regard to General Weaver's war record at Pulaski, and who had followed us persistently to incite ro,wdy ism, was present at 'this meet ing and as usual, attempted a disturb ance. Enough of our poop'e were pres ent, however, partially to suppress it, but we suffered a great deal of indignity. "There has not been an honest elec tion in the south for years," continued Mrs. Lease. "After the negro had been enfranchised the democracy start ed out with the proposition that it was right to count out his vote, and they followed that up with the idea that it is right to count out any political op ponent. Democracy holds power in the south by fraudulent voting. They openly boast of their ability to have a full count, and while crying out against a force bill they have fastened a force bill of the most dangerous des criDtion uDon the people." "What was the general attitude of the southern press toward yourself and General Weaver.-"' "In reporting our meetings tbe press was vindictively false to a marked de gree. They carried personal and polit ical hostility to the bounds of savage warfare. They sought to incite preju dice against me by calling me a lanxee and a disciplo ol John Urown, until l found it necessary, in order to allay this prejudice, to ask the chairman of each meeting to introduce me as an Irish woman. The fell spirit of slave holding intolereaoe has found its last entrenchments in the south and guards its despotism by that same species of lawlessness othat brought about tne frenzy of Sumter and the despair of Appomattox. To exterminate this spirit, everv loyal citizen should come to the rescue, and make the question of free speech, free vote and ialr count tne paramount issue of this campaign." FOR SALE.
